 The Fischell Fellowship in Biomedical Engineering

The Fischell Fellowship in Biomedical Engineering is a unique graduate fellowship opportunity for talented and innovative graduate students interested in applied research and product design in the biomedical industry.

The A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland seeks applicants with innovative ideas and the desire to pursue product development in the biomedical device industry. 

The Fischell Fellowship is a competitive doctoral fellowship featuring:

  • $35,000 (12-month Stipend)
  • Full Tuition Waiver
  • Full Health Benefits

The Fischell Fellowship is renewable for up to 5 years as long as the recipient remains in good academic standing and continues his or her course of study.

How do I apply for the Fischell Fellowship? Who is eligible?

All applicants to the Graduate Program in Bioengineering will be considered for the Fischell Fellowship. No separate application is required. A committee will award the fellowship to one accepted student per year in each incoming class.

Interested applicants should apply for graduate study at the University of Maryland by the application deadlines.

Eligibility for the Fischell Fellowship in Biomedical Engineering is reserved for applicants (new, incoming students) to the Fischell Department of Bioengineering. Applicants do not have to have an undergraduate degree in bioengineering. (Please refer to our Graduate Admissions page for admission criteria.)

Incoming graduate students must be accepted to the University of Maryland and the Graduate Program in Bioengineering before they can be awarded the Fischell Fellowship. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States.
